Hey everybody, I just got a beta key and downloaded the client a few minutes ago. I'm TastyBacon, I'm a streamer, commentator, and Tournament Organizer for the game Rise of Immortals.

Wanted to check this game out after seeing it posted on a couple MMO websites, but was wondering what's up with this game? Me and a few of my friends tried it out, and while I understand that it's in Alpha Testing, what exactly is meant to be tested at the moment?

Every game that we went into, whether PvP or Bots, each person could only see themselves moving around, all other characters just sat in the base, however it said people were still doing things, like bots getting kills, we could capture the plunderball in that mode, etc. We also found that many of abilities just didn't work. Pickups also didn't work, and the Tutorial gets stuck when it tells you to attack the dummy-bot thingy. We really love the style of the game, and a lot of the concepts and systems that we saw in place, but just wanted to know if there is actually a way to play it in order to do any testing. Thanks in advance for any responses!

PS: I would absolutely be interested in streaming/commentating for this game in the future. I'm loving what I'm seeing so far.

I'm one of said friends of Tasty's, also a commentator and streamer for Rise of Immortals. I'm loving the style of this game and how it plays so far. I would love to see how this game progresses and would also cast/stream for competitive games, definitely.

Edit: Something happened and now it's working. This game is amazing, I'm loving it!

So, just an update. Not sure what happened, but all 3 of us got logged out simultaneously, and when we logged back in, the game worked just fine. And holy crap it was fun. Definitely looking forward to doing more!

Hey guys! Welcome to SMC!

We've been running into some UDP desyncs over the last couple weeks and we're in the process of ironing out those wrinkles which is causing the "frozen" effect you're describing. Updates and resets of the server will happen, that's just the nature of our testing and development.

The game is still in alpha but we're looking for any and all feedback you players may have. Be it gametype, interface, balance, anything related.

Also, in case you haven't seen we have scheduled playtests at 4pm EST on Saturdays and 6pm EST on Mondays which is when you'll find the majority of players online. We leave the servers on all the time though so players can practice and play games if enough people do happen to be on.

Have fun, let us know if we can answer any questions! See you in the arena.

I've most certainly been having fun with it so far. I think we did find a couple of things that we've reported, definitely will be sticking around here. :)

Unfortunately, I can't make any of the Monday playtests at that time due to classes, and I have work this Saturday, but I'm hoping to be able to get on some of the future Saturday playtests. Keep up the great work!
